For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.

another option is to use Cloudflare's tunnels. it's free, I use it all the time. really great.

Yeah it's a popular choice for various things. But wouldn't it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?

gotta admit I haven't read the ToS, but I didn't encounter any problems. I'm streaming GBs of music via the tunnel and it still works. p2p I didn't try, but I don't really see a reason to?

Just remember that Cloudflare decrypts and re-encrypts all your data, so they can read absolutely everything that passes through those tunnels.

mind elaborating?

If I let them handle the TLS for me then I can see that. but if, for example, I'm using NextCloud, which implement end to end encryption from client to server, then I wouldn't care if they did, no?

Huh, good to know. I'm out remember some of us have traffic in the TBs pretty month!
